I attended turning point as a residential patient after I was desperate to get sober in April 2017. I was about to die from my alcoholism and I will forever be grateful to them for helping me and saving my life. Unfortunately, I don t remember any of the staff names except for Dana because she was wonderful. As were all of the around the clock nurses and counselors.I do not remember the name of the main doctor or whatever he was. I do not have fond memories of him. I hadnt been able to keep water or food down for months because of how bad all the alcohol had burned my stomach. This man forced me to not only drink an entire can of some kind of shake, He then forced me to eat peanut butter and jelly which I promptly both threw up. he told me they weren t equipped to take care of that so they sent me to the emergency room in the middle of the night and refused to contact my mother.Luckily, somehow, I had the presence of mind to bring my wallet with me. I had her phone number and called her from my hospital room. She rushed all the way over from Rio rancho. I could have died that night from alcohol withdrawal, and she would never have known.As soon as I got back, they took away my Klonopin I had been prescribed for years and refused to give me any. They forced me to go through alcohol withdrawal and benzo withdrawal without my approval for the latter. I had post acute withdrawal syndrome for months afterwards, and was shaking so much I couldn t sleep,eat,do my make up or anything. Looking back on it, I m honestly surprise I didn t have a seizure.Then, while I was shaking so bad, it was hard for me to sit still, they forced me to Sit in a car while being driven from rural Rio Rancho over to the Montgomery office for vitals and IOP Every morning for two weeks. I begged them to please find some Other way for me to do this, if I could get vitals done somewhere on the west side and have it reported to them or virtually attend, and they just shrugged.I have extremely mixed feelings about my experience there. I have stayed sober since then, but as time has gone on, I ve realized the trauma that they gave me in addition to my sobriety.
Gives me the tools to be happy, and helps point me towards a brighter outlook.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Intensive Outpatient Their IOP is the best in the business. After alcohol and drugs are safely out of the body, the client enters an intensive, supportive, recovery program to avoid relapse and ensure stability. IOP combines group therapy, individual therapy, community meetings, peer support, and accountability. It’s a proven method of recovery.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Medically Assisted Detox Clients in need of around the clock, full service, medically supervised detox can stay in their residential house located in the Northeast section of Albuquerque. Unlike huge detox facilities with dozens of beds and a one-size-fits-all approach, their detox house accommodates a maximum of 5 residents at any time. And rather than a sterile, hospital-type setting, their house sits in a residential neighborhood with all the amenities of home. Many clients need medically supervised detox services, but are unwilling or unable to enter into residential care, perhaps due to work or family obligations. Turning Point offers these clients the option of the proper medications and regular medical oversight to safely withdraw from alcohol or drugs while remaining at home.
Aftercare Support Rehab aftercare programs promote clients' long-term recovery by providing a robust continuum of care aligned with clients' evolving needs. Because addiction is a chronic disease prone to relapse, rehab aftercare services are highly client-focused and uniquely responsive to clients' changing medical, mental health, and social circumstances. Case managers and care teams collaborate with clients, assess their goals and needs, and provide access to recovery-focused resources, such as peer coaching, employment assistance, and relapse prevention services.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Each drug rehab in New Mexico offers unique amenities and treatment methods. Common aspects of treatment include group and individual counseling, recreational therapy, medication management, and healthy living. Aftercare is often provided to prevent relapse.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Clinical Services
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
When the first need is for alcohol detoxification or drug abuse services, go to a specialist. At Turning Point, all their counselors work 100% on resolving addictions. Don’t seek out a private practice counselor and think he/she can get you through recovery. You need a full service facility with the range of services they offer.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
If you attend couples therapy in New Mexico, you can expect to work with the therapist and each other to identify emotions, explore your history, and learn new skills to help you better meet relationship challenges. These skills may include problem solving, conflict resolution, and anger management.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
With a therapist's guidance, experiential therapy in New Mexico provides hands on interventions that give you deeper access to your motivations, creativity, and emotions. This mode of therapy allows you to reflect on your experiences and resolve inner conflicts you may have ignored in the past.
